Caister Roman Fort

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

The remains of a Roman fort which was occupied well into the Saxon period. Caister formed part of the Roman 'Saxon Shore' defenses. It was built around the year 200 AD and used by the Roman army for the next two centuries. The remains show building foundations, and sections of walls and ditches.

Caister remained occupied during the 4th century, and may have been used as a predecessor to the more elaborate fort at Burgh Castle. Settlement lapsed following the departue of the Romans, but the site was later reoccupied in the 7th and 8th centuries as a Saxon settlement. Caister Roman Fort is under the care of English Heritage, but is actually managed by Great Yarmouth Borough Council. Note: The name of this site is sometimes [incorrectly] spelled 'Caistor'.
